McDonald’s Australia to Introduce MyMacca’s Rewards on Uber Eats Under New Partnership

McDonald’s Australia to Introduce MyMacca’s Rewards on Uber Eats Under New Partnership 22McDonald’s Australia is planning to let customers earn MyMacca’s Rewards points on eligible Uber Eats orders, following a major expansion of its delivery partnership with Uber.

The changes could make it easier to collect loyalty points when ordering delivery, although McDonald’s hasn’t announced when the new Uber Eats rewards feature will launch in Australia.

MyMacca’s Rewards Points Coming to Uber Eats

One of the biggest changes is the planned integration of MyMacca’s Rewards with Uber Eats, allowing customers to earn points on eligible McDonald’s purchases made directly through the delivery platform.

Currently, Australian customers can earn MyMacca’s Rewards points on qualifying orders placed through the MyMacca’s App, including eligible McDelivery purchases.

However, orders placed directly through Uber Eats or DoorDash don’t currently qualify.

Under the expanded partnership, that distinction is expected to change for eligible Uber Eats transactions.

McDonald’s existing Australian rewards program provides 100 points for every $1 spent on eligible food and drinks.

Eligible Spend Current MyMacca’s Points
$10 1,000
$20 2,000
$30 3,000
$40 4,000

These figures reflect the existing loyalty program. McDonald’s hasn’t confirmed whether the same earning rate will apply to future Uber Eats orders.

Until the integration launches, you’ll still need to use an eligible McDonald’s ordering channel to collect points.

Uber to Become McDonald’s Preferred Delivery Partner

The agreement will also see Uber Direct become the preferred delivery fulfilment partner for orders placed through McDonald’s own app.

That means you could continue ordering and paying through the MyMacca’s App while Uber handles the delivery behind the scenes.

McDonald’s plans to integrate Uber Direct and delivery technology provider Deliverect, allowing customers to track their orders without leaving the McDonald’s app.

You’ll also still be able to order McDonald’s directly through Uber Eats.

The partnership doesn’t mean the MyMacca’s App is being replaced, and no new nationwide delivery discount has been announced.

McDonald’s Points Could Also Be Used for Uber Rides

The expanded agreement includes plans to let eligible McDonald’s loyalty members redeem rewards points for discounts on Uber rides in selected markets.

An initial seasonal promotion is planned internationally during November, offering another way to use McDonald’s loyalty points beyond food and drinks.

However, Australia hasn’t been confirmed as part of the initial Uber ride promotion.

McDonald’s also hasn’t announced how many points would be needed for an Uber ride discount or whether the benefit will become available to Australian MyMacca’s members.

When Will the New Rewards Features Launch in Australia?

McDonald’s and Uber have confirmed Australia’s inclusion in the expanded multi-year partnership, but a local rollout date for the new loyalty features hasn’t been provided.

For now, MyMacca’s Rewards members can continue earning points through eligible purchases made using McDonald’s existing ordering channels.

The planned Uber Eats integration would give customers another way to collect rewards without needing to place every delivery order through the MyMacca’s App.

Further details about account linking, eligible orders and any Australian Uber ride benefits are expected as the partnership rolls out.
